Chapter 27: First Disappearance
“What’s the matter?” Why didn’t you enter the academy?”
Cheng Qiaoyi blinked her eyes and said admiringly, “Senior, you were fantastic! Even the Tiansheng Group can’t harm you!”
“Bullsh*t!”
Wang Wen interrupted the young girl’s thoughts. “They didn’t even look at me, or I would have died 800 times!”
He took a breather. He changed the subject helplessly after noticing Cheng Qiaoyi looking at him adoringly. “How did you know it was the Tiansheng Group?”
“I asked my dad to save you. He heard the pressure from the Tiansheng Group, so he couldn’t do anything about it,” Cheng Qiaoyi said excitedly.
“Your dad? I remember he opened a… Wait! Why are you smiling so happily?” Wang Wen looked at her speechlessly.
Cheng Qiaoyi immediately adopted a pitiful demeanor. “I understand you are very busy, but I didn’t expect you to miss the opportunity for three weeks in a row. It shouldn’t be too difficult for me to skip class this week. Furthermore, you just escaped from the Regional Security Department, not from prison. After being locked up for more than ten days, you must not have eaten or slept well. I asked my mother to prepare something delectable to nourish your body.”
‘The Tiansheng Group?’ Wang Wen was talking to Cheng Qiaoyi, but his thoughts had already flown to something else. He glanced at the bespectacled girl and forcibly recalled the conversation between them last night, the Tiansheng Group’s Mirror, and her words.
The night was dark, and the lighting was poor at the time. Wang Wen was immersed in the quiet atmosphere of the academy and missed the two of them at first. He could only vaguely recall some scattered scenes as he recalled his memories.
He definitely could not hear the voices.
However, based on his lip-reading skills, he remembered the words report, best friend, contact, itinerary, and entered the tower.
Wang Wen had an epiphany after a brief moment of thought.
‘So I was wrong about Yu Zhi.’
‘No! I was not wrong! She also found someone to intercept me, but the Tiansheng Group was the first to do that! I should avoid that crazy woman.’
Wang Wen pursed his lips and nodded in agreement, praising his wisdom.
“Senior, you agree with me?”
Cheng Qiaoyi saw Wang Wen nodding and cheered. “Great! The car was over there. Let’s go now!”
The corner of Wang Wen’s eyes twitched.
He suppressed his discomfort and tried to recall what the girl in front of him had just said.
What exactly had he agreed to?
About 1.5 seconds later.
He did not bat an eyelid when he looked at Cheng Qiaoyi. “I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I’m afraid I already have plans for today. Let’s talk about it later.”
“How is that possible? You just came back last night, and you already have a plan today?” Cheng Qiaoyi widened her eyes in disbelief.
Wang Wen nodded. “Yes, it was arranged yesterday.”
The gods would also love a good show.
Coincidentally, they had sent Deputy Chief Jiang to save the situation.
They saw him carrying a bag and rushing over from a distance, shouting, “What a strange coincidence. I don’t even need to go to the academy to look for you. Hello, students.”
The deputy chief casually greeted the two girls, then stuffed the things in his hands into Wang Wen’s and said, “I can’t afford optical computers! I have everything else! Oh, right! Why do you need two mobile phones?”
He carefully examined the two girls staring at him in a daze, then leaned closer to Wang Wen and asked, “What about a dual SIM phone?”
Wang Wen lowered his head and examined the bag for any missing items. He was pleased with the deputy chief’s performance.
Ignoring his query, he simply said, “Thank you for your hard work. How many of those things are there in total? Please give me your phone number, and I will transfer it to you later.”
“No rush!”
The deputy chief pulled Wang Wen to the side and said in a low voice, “The important thing was, what exactly are you planning to do? I don’t know what Xiao Chen said to the chief last night, but he entered the tower overnight!”
On the other hand, when the bespectacled girl heard the words optical computer, mobile phone, and transfer the money, her eyes lit up.
She glanced thoughtfully at the bag of things and turned back to see Cheng Qiaoyi. She said unhappily, “What were you waiting for? Can’t you see that he doesn’t want to talk to you?”
“He didn’t ignore me.”
Cheng Qiaoyi regarded Wang Wen solemnly from a distance. Despite her disappointed tone, she helped him with an excuse. “He is just extremely busy.”
On the other hand, Wang Wen raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard the deputy chief’s words and asked, “He entered the tower?”
The deputy chief shook his head. “Not really. He still went to look for his friend. But he found a few more people to round out the standard five-person team. He probably didn’t trust his friend and wanted to get more trustworthy people.”
Wang Wen immediately lost interest when he heard that the guard was not the one to go into the tower.
Coincidentally, Cheng Qiaoyi’s voice sounded from the other side. “Senior, you go ahead. We’ll meet another day.”
He took the opportunity to walk in front of Cheng Qiaoyi. He tore off the number on the new phone card and stuffed it into her hand. “Take care. That’s my number. Call me if you need anything.”
The deputy chief chased after him and asked anxiously, “What will happen to them this time?”
Wang Wen shrugged helplessly at Cheng Qiaoyi and turned to answer the deputy chief, “If there were no accidents, then nothing.”
Cheng Qiaoyi looked at the number a few times, then led the bespectacled girl away.
Along the way, she took out her phone to record the number and then took a post-it note to copy the number again.
“Look, he’s busy, but he still takes the time to care about me.”
She carefully folded the note and put it into her bag. She smiled sweetly.
The bespectacled girl pretended to let out a long sigh.
The moment she covered her forehead, the image that appeared in her mind was a glimpse of the new phone in the bag when Wang Wen took the new phone card.
She was a modern and fashionable young woman with a unique skill.
That skill was about recognizing all the premium items higher than her monthly living expenses.
She believed that she was not mistaken. Wang Wen’s mobile phone was the hottest brand’s flagship phone.
It was priced at 19,888 points.
It was higher than her living expenses for a whole year.
The bespectacled girl clearly remembered that that kid was still poor just a dozen days ago.
His balance on the card was no more than 400 points.
It was only enough for a glass of milk and a cake.
How did he have the money to buy such an expensive mobile phone?
It was even sent to the academy by a special person.
Was he a prince impersonating a country bumpkin, or a country bumpkin impersonating a prince?
She remembered the middle-aged man who had sent the phone and the fawning all over the boy, as well as Wang Wen’s corresponding calmness.
She adjusted her glasses, licked her lips, and smiled.
“It’s like a single control switch.”
Wang Wen, who did not know anything, patiently explained to the deputy chief. They stood at the academy’s entrance for hours on end.
“The first time someone activates it, they will get the relics in the mechanism, but the second time, the person who activates it will fail.”
Wang Wen raised his finger and said, “And I’ve already sold it the first time, or rather, given it away.”
